The Largest Top Lines Among This Season's Reporters

Five companies that issued quarterly results on Nov 2, 2026 produced the biggest Revenue figures in this set, listed from highest to lowest. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) sits well in front at $114.5 billion ($114,477 million) for the fiscal fourth quarter that ended Sep 26, 2026, a 12% increase.

Marriott International (NASDAQ:MAR) comes next at $7,005 million, about 8.0% higher (calculated). Diamondback Energy (NASDAQ:FANG) is next with a 38.4% (calculated) rise to $5,431 million. Loews (NYSE:L) booked $4,759 million, a 1.9% increase (calculated), while Fox (NASDAQ:FOX) posted $4,571 million, a 22% gain across its fiscal first quarter.

Scale varies sharply, because Apple towers over the remaining four, and reporting calendars differ: Fox and Apple report fiscal quarters, while the others covered calendar third quarters. Every one of the five reported net income, spanning $306 million for Loews through $30.7 billion for Apple.

1. Apple: Services, iPhone and Mac Lift a September Quarter Peak

Scale, Growth and Margins Side by Side

Measured against Marriott, Apple's revenue is roughly 16.3 times larger (calculated), and the five companies combined reported roughly $136.2 billion (calculated), with Apple making up about 84.0% (calculated). Growth rates spanned from 1.9% at Loews up to 38.4% at Diamondback.

On a calculated basis, net margins came to roughly 6.4% at Loews, 11.3% at Marriott, 20.6% at Fox, 26.8% at Apple and 29.5% at Diamondback, the highest in the set.

These comparisons blend unlike bases. Apple and Fox run on fiscal calendars, and the net income figures reflect the amounts attributed to the company wherever the articles specify that.

What to Watch Next: Payout Timing, Marriott's Fourth Quarter Outlook and Fox's Deal Close

Apple's $0.27 payout arrives Nov 16, 2026 for shareholders recorded as of Nov 12, 2026. The company's upcoming release should show how Supply and memory prices play out. The $1.18 quarterly payout from Diamondback is scheduled for Nov 19, 2026.

Marriott expects fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA to rise 12% to 14%, though its materials list no dated milestone. Loews refers to a fourth quarter and full-year release without naming a date. For Fox, the next step is completing its streaming purchase, and no closing date appears in the files.
